and Blood hath not revealed but the Father hath revealed that Rock which his Church is built upon by his Power and by his Spirit they stand sure Glory be to God forever And whereas you bring Matt. 26. vers 26 27 28. and compare it to John 6.5 This you do bring to prove your Sacrament of the Alter and your christ and godd that is made of Bread and Wine which is to no purpose at all for that of John 6. where Christ saith Your Fathers did eat Manna in the Wilderness but are dead So you have eaten your godd that you have made with Bread and Wine and are dead But Christ is the true Bread which comes down from Heaven for Bread comes from the Corn and Wine from the Grape and that comes from below but he that eateth this Bread that comes dow from Heaven shall live for ever c. he that doth eat Christs Flesh and drink his Blood doth not eat it Figuratively but they eat it Really if they have life in him And Christs Flesh is not Wafers nor his Blood is not outward Wine that comes from the Grape but Christ saith His words are Spirit and Life the Flesh profitteth nothing for it is the Spirit that quickeneth Therefore you are darker then the Jews and cannot receive Christs words but judge them carnally as they did And for your old Fathers Talk or Story that proves nothing to us but is like your own Fables And as for that 1 Cor. 11.28 proves nothing as for you that make a christ and a godd of Bread and Wine for they wrote That they were to take it in Remembrance of Christ and if a Remembrance of him then it was not he Have you lost your Reason If thou doest any thing in Remembrance of a man if it be the man what doest thou it in Rememembrance of him He saith As often as you do this do it in Remembrance of Christ as often as you eat this Bread And so both the Bread and the Cup was left unto them as Often not Alwayes for they were to injoy Christ Jesus And he said he would come and dwell in them and so had it been he Christ it had been Non-sence and Ridiculous to say in Remembrance of him when it was he What silly reasoning is this And you do shew forth his Death till he come so saith he Till he come Mark then it is not he it is not Christ for if he is to come it is not the same Christ as was offered up upon the Cross if he be risen and he is to come So you have been all the unworthy Eaters and Drinkers and not discern Christ nor his Body who have put your Bread and Wine for the Body of Christ and so have eaten and drunk your own Damnation not discerning the Lords Body and therefore you are Sick and Weak and asleep in your Sins That which is done in a Shew is it not a Figure or a Shaddow And a Shaddow mu●t be done away when the Substance is come And people must come to dye with Christ and be buried with him if they live with him and not alwayes eating 1 Cor. 11. and drinking in Remembrance of him Bread and Wine and they must Suffer with him and Dye with him and be Buried with him and Rise with him now if you be risen with Christ you seek those things that come from above for Bread Water and Wine is from be●ow For Christ saith I am the Door doth not be And he is the Way he is the Vine and he is a Rock and a Stone And is Christ an outward Stone an outward Vine outward Bread and outward Water an outward Door an outward Rock If thou interpretest the one interpret the other and confute thy self which is enough to confute all your whole counterfeit Church People may eat and drink natural bread and natural wine without Damnation to themselves But surely the Bread and the Wine which you say is Christ and his Blood and his Flesh and the whole christ a Wafer or sup of Wine or a piece of Bread any Drunkard or Prophane Man or Woman that is can see it with their outward Eyes but to say that to be Christ his Flesh and his Blood that came down from Heaven which came from the Grape and from the Corn thou wouldst make people believe as the Phylosopher That Snow is Black and the Sun abroad Plate of Mettal And your Confecrations makes your Wafers and Bread no more Christ then it was before nor God for it is Blasphemy in you to say That Wafers or a little Bread or Wine is God You have made many godds and eaten them and drunk them but except your simple people had been inchanted and so you make them believe it to be God but we are over your Inchantments and in that which will Grind you to Powder and we know that Christ hath given his Flesh for the Life of the World that is a Mystery to you that make Christs of Bread and Wine Moreover you say That the Body of Christ was given for to redeem our Sins upon the Cross which Body he gave to his Disciples at his Last Supper c. Answ People did you ever hear the like What silly Logick or Rhetorick is this It seems the Apostles eat Christs Body and drunk his Blood then what Body had Christ to offer upon the Cross Had he two Bodies for he saith He redeemed their Sins with his Body upon the Cross and before he saith He had given his Body to his Disciples and they did eat it after Supper What Non-sence and Confusion is this It may well be called Mystery Babylon the Mother of Harlots that taught him such a Lesson After the Disciples had eaten his Body and drunk his Blood when he went to be offered up upon the Cross which he saith His Body was offered up upon the Cross for the redeeming of their sins Did you ever hear such Doctrine Did Christ come to redeem the Sins of people You read of the true Doctrine that the Apostles came to turn people from Darkness to Light but you never heard of such a Doctrine Sin is of the Devil Did Christ come to Redeem the Devil Nay He came to destroy the Works of the Devil and to Redeem People from Sin See what gross Delusion and blind Ignorance appears here from this Seditious Sect of Papists and these that stile themselves Masters of Arts The Papists say The same Body that suffered upon the Cross the Apostles eat and upon this their Salvation hangs Now if the Apostles had eaten it and drunk his Blood then what Body had he to offer Or see what Salvation these people have which hang upon the Bread and Wine after Consecrated to be Christ and have no Christ but that which they make And that is it which suffered upon the Cross Then how came he to rise again if they had eaten him that very Body after Supper that very Body

of Christ Jesus And how came he to be laid in the Grave and yet came after to shew the Apostles his Hands and Sides seeing they had eaten him and his Body was whole And the Apostle saith As often as you do eat this Bread and drink this Cup Was it an outward Cup they drunk or was there somewhat in the Cup Did they swollow an outward Cup Come interpret this and confute your selves And whereas thou bringest Faustus and Augustine and speakest scoffingly of the People of God called Quakers and call'st them Humming Speakers and shewest thy self to be of Ishmaels brood And you bring St. John Damascenus and a many such like Fathers of the Church which is nothing to the purpose but only to blind People that are ignorant withal to make them believe that your Bread and Wine is Christ after you have blessed it to keep your poor deceived people in ignorance But the Lord is taking off your Covers that your filthy Raggs may be seen and your ugly Images and Idols which have been set up by the Unclean spirit and spirit of Persecution And whereas thou layest down a Charge To know who was our first grand Speaker after Peter of our Religion I Answer He that was of Peter's Spirit which was of the Spirit of Christ Jesus which was the Seed of the Woman whom the Beast and your false Church the Whore hath drunk their Flood and made War against them that have kept the Testimony of ●es●●s that have seen all your works and actions and testifie against them with all the whole Train of Idolatry and Idols and Images that you have made an Idol of Bread and Wine and now the Seed is rising and the Witness that will make your earth to quake and Christ says Learn of Me he was the first Speaker to us called Quakers This is my beloved Son hear ye him saith God So I tell thee he was our first Speaker and he hath given us his Spirit that leads into all Truth that hath taught us the Way to life and Salvation and he is the Rock of Ages and not Peter and the Foundation of many Generations and is the same to day as he was yesterday and so forever and he hath been our Leader our Prophet our Shepherd our Priest our Bishop our Councellor our Minister our Preacher whom God hath anointed to Preach that Preacheth Life Light and Salvation So we come to obey his Doctrine and do his Will and we shall know his Doctrine if in doing the same you will know our first Preacher you must come to the Light to see him which will condemn all the Images and Idols and condemn your christ and godd that you make of bread and wine and condemn your head and church too And whereas thou speakest Scoffingly Of the Church of God being Smothered under a Cloud We say to these Mockers and to this Seditious Sect That the Church hath been in the Wilderness there fed of God Forty and Two Moneths One Thousand Two Hundred and Threescore Dayes which is a Time and Times and half a Time so count you a day for a year and then you may reckon your selves how long your false church the Mother of Harlots hath been on the back of the Beast whom the Devil the Dragon gives power to and the year when the Woman the true Church is coming-out of the Wilderness who hath been fed of God God hath been her Feeder which indeed you with the Dragons power would have smothered Her as under a Cloud or a Tubb but the Earth helped Her and she was preserved in the Wilderness where you could not find her though you went with Judas his Swords Staves and Lanthorns your band of Soulaiers from your counterfeit Head But I tell you She was fed of God in the Wilderness Ferty two Moneths and reckon this and then you may see how long the false church and the whore and the beast hath reigned and when she comes out of the Wilderness again Then we Challenge you To tell us how many Martyrs Prophets and Saints the beast and whore the false church that sate upon the Beast in the Dragons power how much of their Flood have they drunk to wit the Blood of the Saints and Martyrs of Jesus And so by this time thou wilt see the coming in of the False church the where and the going into the Wilderness of the true Church the Down-fall of the Beast and of the Whore for if thou canst count the number of the true Church that comes out of the Wilderness thou wilt know the number of your false The Scriptures we own we do contend against your filthy Raggs of your Heresie which we deny and will not put on for we have a better Garment which is the Fine Linnen which is the Righteousness of the Saints THe Ingenious Reader hath read your Paper and here is somewhat in Answer to it and finds it a confused piece of Nonsence and Toutologies and Contradictions and if all the Forefathers and these that thou hast quoted be as dark as you are they are in that which is Darkness it self and ignorant of the Scripture and of Christ and the Apostles Doctrine and Spirit and Power and Faith and are seperated and degenerated from it to wit the Spirit of God You are all judged you and your Forefathers together with your Works your Images and are in the spirit of Persecution the first birth of the Flesh of Hagar that is cast out and and not the Bride of the Lambs Wife nor the true Spouse of Christ Jesus which is coming forth of the Wilderness Halelujah Postscript IN Matt. 26 Christ said Take the Cup and said Drink ye all of it Now was it an outward Cup that the Dissciples did drink or something in the Cup Then you do interpret this wrong for it was not the Cup they did drink And then you must interpret that Scripture This is my Body and Christ brake the outward Bread then did Christ break his own Body and give it to his Disciples before he suffered and did they eat it then What Body had Christ to offer upon the Cross for the Sins of the People if that the Apopostles had eaten it And Christ doth not say The Wine which was called the Blood of the New Testament was the New Testament And Mark 14. and Luke 22. Christ brake the Bread and gave it to his Disciples And did he break his Body that suffered upon the Cross for Mankind No His Body was whole then And he took the Bread and brake it and gave it to the Disciples and they did eat it For if that outward Wine was his Blood and the Bread his Body then his Blood and Body was eaten and drunk before he suffered and if his Disciples had eaten his Body and drunk his Blood then they had eaten Christ and then there had been no Offering on the Cross for the Sins of Mankind according to your Assertion And in M●tt

26. Mark 14. Christ saith For I say unto you I will not any more eat thereof until it be fulfilled in the Kingdom of God Lule 22. For I say unto you I will not drink of the Fruit of the Vine until the Kingdom of God shall come Mark 14. Verily I say unto you I will drink no more of the of the Fruit of the Vine until that day that I drink it new in the Kingdom of God And Matt. 26. Christ saith But I say unto you I will not drink henceforth of this Fruit of the Vine until that day when I drink it new in the Fathers Kingdom What! Will Christ drink his own Blood with his Disciples new in his Fathers Kingdom and eat of the Bread his own Body in the Kingdom of God And did Christ eat his own body and drink his own Blood while he was on the Earth with his Disciples for he saith I will no more drink I will not any more eat until it be fulfilled in the Kingdom of God and I will no more drink until that day said he that I drink it new in my Fathers Kingdom And what doth NO MORE signifie Doth it not signifie that he had eaten and drunk it before And what then do you say or affirm that he had eaten his own Body and drunk his own Blood Come let us see what sense you will make of this with all your Keys And what did the Pascal-Lamb typifie forth your outward Bread and Wine And what did one outward thing Type forth another outward thing And what did Christ eat himself and drink himself and did the Apostles eat Christ before he suffered Is this your Doctrine Did not the Paschal Lamb Typifie our Paschal Lamb CHRIST our Passover And what did it type forth your Bread and Wine christ which you made which is outward and from the ground And there your Heads go downward and the one outward thing types forth another outward thing and this is your Doctrine is it not and so that one Natural Types forth another But we tell you That Christ our Pascal-Lamb endeth the Jews Pascal-Lamb and their Passover for he is the Substance of them which were Types of him who is the spiritual Man who endeth them all that were Types and Figures of him And the Apostle saith 1 Cor. 10. For we being many are one Bread and one Body c. and what was this the outward bread and were the Apostles and Saints Bodies outward bread Or were the Saints the Body of Christ and he their Head and so one Body and one Head Or hath Christ ever a Body but what you do make of Bread and Wine Answer And the Apostle saith 1 Cor. 10. That the Bread and the Cup was the Communion of the Body of Christ And he doth not say That the Bread is the Body of Christ nor doth he say That the Cup is Christ's Blood And wherein doth your Cup and Table differ from the Cup and Table of Devils Answer And come let us see what sence you will make of this you Corrupters and Destroyers of Scriptures the Masters of all Corruptions Theft and Plunder the Devils Espouse and a Help meet who with his Sparks setteth Princes together by the Ears this usurped Dragon would have brought the Earth to desolation who with his fiery Sparks which he hath thrown amongst the Nations hath set the Nations on fire and would have all bow to him and Persecutes them that bows to God And are not you offering up your christ in every Nation and Country where you have power which you make of your Bread and Wine And without blushing falsly call your selves Ministers of the True Christ but you are the Ministers of that christ you make of Bread and Wine So you make your Lord your Christ and your Host and then you do offer him in every Country or Nation and so you make many Thousands of godds and christs and many thousand godd and christ Host-makers you are many thousand Offerings ye offer up Yearly But the True Christ is offered up Once for All and not yearly And this was the true Ministers of Christs Doctrine who denyed the Yearly Sacrifices amongst the Jews which Offerings Christ the True Offering ends and so Christ put away sin by the offering of himself and so our High-Priest was not made by man but he was begotten of God who is made higher then the Heavens and whom God did prepare a Body And you make your body and blood of your Antichrist and offer him up Yearly to deceive the People and keep them in their sin and then tell them of a Purgatory when they are Dead GREAT DECEIVERS and so you do the will of Devil your godd But he that did the Will of the Living God to wit Jesus Christ did it through the Offering up of his Body Once for All and so there is an end of the Offerings and your false ones together with your christs the workmanship of your own hands which you have caused people to worship both Small and Great a Mark of the great Whore see Rev. and Heb. 10. And you Papists who say you make the body and blood of your christ and when that you have made it you say people must not have the blood but the body of your christ you have made If that this was the True Christ as it is the Falfe then you keep all your Deceived People in Death and from Life and Faith and Justification For except they eat Christs Flesh and drink his Blood they have no Life in them and this comes down from above and is not from below as your blood and flesh which you make of Bread and Wine and so they must drink the Blood as well as eat the Flesh of Christ if they have Life and they that do not drink his Blood have not Life in Christ for all the true Christians do drink his Blood and have Life and they are justified and cleansed with his Blood and their Faith is in the Blood of Christ and so all that have Life Commune in both kinds that is They eat the Flesh of Christ and drink his Blood which no man can make but it comes down from above But you that are dead and in Death who have gotten the Name of Christians and pretend to make a christ of flesh and blood of bread and wine which is but a Lye yet you will not give your people your blood which you have made of wine and so according to your own doctrine your people are dead if you do profess the Scripture for Christ doth not separate the flesh from the blood but the one must be received as the other and Christ doth not limit it from any one but did shed his Blood for all men but this is your Cheat of Pope Cardinals and Priests who love the Wine to drink it and thus you do deceive your people And also when you have made your lord and host and christ you do adore him and worship him and reverence him and cause the people to do the same and then when you have done you do EAT up your GOD HOST LORD and CHRIST which you have adored reverenced and worshipped Oh Deceit This is worse then the Heathen for never do you read in any Chronicle that the Heathen did so Eat any of the Godds that they had made with their hands as you have done and thus you dispise the true Christ and confine him in the Creatures of Bread and Wine all which of your works are for Judgment G. THE END

they will not eat your gods and your christs that you have made and Worship it And is not this worse then the Heathen Did the Heathen eat their gods when they had made them So it is clear that you are erred from the Catholique Cross which is the Power of God from the Catholique Faith that works by Love from the Catholique Head Christ Jesus from the Catholique Church the Body of Christ Jesus and cannot maintain your rudiments nor your christ that you have made to the Apostles days for did they set up any such thing Your doctrine concerning Purgatory Meats Drinks Holy-dayes Lent nor your Cloths nor your Bell Book and Candle nor your Popes Head of the Church none of these things can you maintain nor your Persecuting about Religion nor your Mass-mongrey-Stuff nor your several Orders nor your Triple-Crowns nor your Nunneries nor your Crucifixes nor your forbidding to Marry not your Schools of Arts to make Ministers none of all these things can you make good that they were acted or practised by the Apostles or that they did persecute any people about outward things 10thly You are a Seditious Sect and have left the Commands of Christ Jesus who saith Freely you have received and Freely give therefore you who have set up both Easter-Reckonings and Midsummer-Dues and Tythes are a Sect that serve your selves and not Christ Jesus that mind Earthly things and are Enemies to the Cross of Christ and are gone in the way of Cain to Envy Gainsaying Carah against the true Church and its practice and run after the Error of Balaam for Gifts and Rewards the Wages of Unrighteousness Unrighteous Wages and like to Flimas the Sorcerer who seek to turn People from the Catholique Faith that works by Love whose Eyes are blind groping up and down in your Rudiments and among your Idols and Inventions of your Fore-fathers who erred from the true Church And as for the Pelagian-Heresie look at home you Papists and as for the Arians you may look at home for we are none of that spirit Whereas thou givest us a Catalogue of some that did succeed Peter at Rome or Paul but thou doest not tell us of Pope Jone and make a Catalogue of her that had a Bastard nor thou dost not tell us of the Bishop of Rome whom thou callest Pope that sacrificed to the Heathen gods and denied Christ What will you say that these were Rebellious Actions And thou dost not tell us of Boniface the third set up by Phocas that murdered his Master Mauritius about six hundred years after Christ then began your firs● general Pope and you may say if you should do so Satan would be divided against Satan and so could not stand You are far from giving freely who have set up so many Glebe-land and Tythes and I aster-reckonings and fat Parsonages that you might live in the Glory of the World not like a suffering Seed but that you are Enemies to the suffering Seed 11thly You are a Seditious Sect you have cast the Royal Law of God behind your backs which teacheth to do unto others as you would others should do unto you for would you have others to Burn you to Hang you to Imprison you because that you do not conform to their Way or Religion Would you have the Turks and Tartars and Protestants and Jews to Rack and Torture and make Inquisitians for you and Burn you and Hang you because that you do not conform to their Religion Blind the Royal Law of God To do to others as you would have them to do unto you Speak plainly if you can or date or is Ishmael that S●●ff●r Cain the first Persecutor of his Brother Nebuchadnezar and Hammon and the Murdering Jews and the Devil the Dragon become Christians Are not you sound in this nature to the brim And was this divine Cain was a mighty man in Arts as high as you and so was Nimrod in his Building but God confounded him and his Works and so he will do yours it is all under the Chain together with the Workmen And are not you more like to the proud Pharisees with their long Robes that love to be called of men Master and the Gentiles Gratious Lords who loved the Praise of men and Honour one of another a Mark of no Believer Is not this Ti●le and these things forbidden by Christ Jesus See John 5. But I must tell you in your Catalogue you say that many did succeed Peter Where do you read that in all his time he was called Gratious Lord or Pope or that Timothy or Titus or any other that he was set up above another by the Apostles Did not Paul reprove Peter for some things This makes nothing for the Pope the Catalogue you have brought neither doth it suit the matter for your whole Church as you call it together with your Head the Pope is judged by Christ and the Apostles and the primitive Church and therefore because that you have lost the Key of David and Tongue of the Learned the Pope must have the outward Key and you must have the Tongues that begin at Babel which your Brother Pilate set on the top of Christ when he Crucified him and therefore must studdy Arts and so Tubal Cain and this proves you a Seditious Sect and have lost the Crown of Life and therefore he must set up 3. Crowns on his head a Triple-crown this becomes the old Fool that is erred from the Spirit that maketh wise and gives understanding he is far short of them that said An outward Crown did not become a Preacher of the Gospel Let him look the History and see if he can sind such a one in the Church-History before the Pope was But his Head must be beyond Nebuchadnezars Head of Gold for he sets a Tripple-crown upon h●s bead But there is a Stone cut out of the Mountain without hands that will dash his Head of Gold to pieces with his Crown So it is not the handy works of mens hands make them never so strong that will stand before this Stone Glory to God in the highest forever And this Stone will become a great Mountain and fill the whole Earth it is encreasing and in vain do the Pot-shreds of the Earth and Briars and Thorns set themselves in Battel-array against it for his Ensign and Flag of Defiance against all Idolatry with their Idols is hell forth and his Truth spreads and his Light shines by which they all see the Foundation and Rock of Ages And this Stone is fallen upon your Head and Body and will grind you to Powder for when your Head is dead you make another with a great deal of quarrel and strife and many times Blood is shed that some of your Members are killed about making of a head when the body makes him like to frantick men that have lost their Brains But for your Racks Fires and Fagots your rude Rabble would never be kept in order for that noble

Fore-men of the World that led into Error as you may read in John and Mat. 7.21 A dread Timothy where the spirit speaks expresly in the latter dayes of forbidding Marriage and of 〈◊〉 the doctrine of Devils And read Jude such as should go in Cain's way and Balaam's way and Corah's way gainsaying the Gospel persecuting for Gifts and Rewards and here your Fruits are clearly seen the Son of Righteousness shines over your heads amongst his Peop●e and so here you went from the Apostles Head Christ if you had been of them no doubt but you would have continued with them Christ saw you inwardly ravening from the Spirit of God from the Spirit of Truth the Word of God in the Heart from the true Faith that works by Love from the true Doctrine and so are up to the very brim in false doctrine and Idols and Images of your own making and Inventions and so you may see in the Revelation how the Beasts got up the first out of the Sea the second out of the Earth and how the Dragon gave his Power to the Beast and how his Worship was set up and how the Whore the false Church got up and there are the Names of the Beast which we leave you to interpret and how long the Beast must be worshipped and how long the true Church was to be in the Wilderness and to be fed of God and the Man-Child taken up to God and he should be brought forth again and to rule all Nations with a Rod of Iron and the Bride should come forth again and the Marriage of the Lamb should be known again and the Lamb and the Saints should have the Victory So read your Antiquity and how that all that would not receive the Beast's Mark and drink the Whores Cup the false-church she drunk the Blood of the Saints What hath she been as a Queen and hath she seen no sorrow But now is she losing her Children and the Scripture is fulfilling Glory be to the Lord God forever But you shall cry Alas Alas What have we had a Golden Cup that is full of Abomination What have your Kings drunk it and do some begin to hate her Oh! You must drink the Cup of the fierceness of the Wrath of God Almighty before this cup of Abomination be purged out of you The Angels begin to sound their Trumpets and the Everlasting Gospel is preached a●ain and that makes you to roar it sounds to Rome and to the Turks and to the Maguls the Jews and Gentiles the Everlasting Power of God before the Devil was will awaken you The Gospel-Bell begins to Ring it is beyond Aaron's Bells Christ the High-Priest is entring into his Temple For had you been of the Apostles no doubt but you would have continued with them for your doctrine is forbid by Christ and his Apostles for Christ bid F●ed my Lambs And you Wolves worry them and have got the Sheep Clothing in three or four Languages you have learned naturally and they that had the gift of Tongues were but tinckling Cymbals and sounding Brass who had not love and therefore all your Sounds it hath been but in comparison the sound of Brass and your tinckling but as Cymbals and your own Inventions And so your head is false not being found of that Catholique Faith that works by Love And the Word of the Lord God is kindling that Fire that will burn the Whores Flesh and will take her together with the Beast and the Dragon and cast her and them alive into the Lake of Fire What you to profess Christ Jesus in words and Murder and Persecute the true Christians to death What is this but Ishmael and Cain and Sodom and Egypt and the Jews and the Heathens spirit and nature and the Whore and the Beast and the Dragon and the Devil and false Prophets and false Apostles and Antichrist against the true Apostle and Christ Jesus who saith Love Enemies Love one another Oh Seditious Sect For when the second Beast rose out of the Earth then all your earthly Idols were established earthly Inventions earthly Images and then got your Whore on the top of the Beast your false Church Mystery Babylon arrayed in Purple and Scarlet deckt with Gold and Precious-Stones and Pearls do you see how she is decked a Golden Cup in her hand full of Abomination of Filthiness of Fornication and upon her head written Mystery Babylon the great the Mother of Harlots Yea of all the Harlots from God from Christ from the Apostles from the Spirit from the Faith from the Truth from the Power of God the Cross of Christ from the Righteousness and from Christ the true Head and from the true Church And this Whore thus decked has drunk the Blood of the Saints and Jesus his Martyrs Who cannot but wonder to see such a Monster And from whence came he that this Whore this Woman this false Church sits upon but from the Bottomless-pit and thither must they return again with his Horns And now is the Cry is Come out of her my People signifying that God hath a People to come out there lest they be Partakers of her Plagues This is the day that the Lord is calling Come out of her my People we have heard his Voice and can rejoyce over her for God will be avenged on her and she shall be cast down like a mighty Mill-stone read Rev. 17. For mark Here is the Devil the Dragon and the Whore and the false Prophet as Companions that came out of the Beast like Froges These go altogether to wit the Beast and the Dragon and the Whore on the top of the Beast the Dragons Power and his worship hath been set up and she is riding on the Devils power killing and murdering the Lord Jesus his Martyrs and Prophets What! Hath your Church lived deliciously and been as a Queen and no Widdow Doth she profess to be a Married Wife and a Queen She hath made many of her Merchants rich and is not she become the Habitation of Devils and Hold of every foul spirit and Cage of every hateful Bird And hath not the Beast had two Horns like a Lamb and exercised the power of the first Beast and all that will not worship and receive h●s Image and drink the Whores Cup must be made war against and their Blood drunk The Son of Righteousness is risen that shines that shews his Horns his Marks his Names what is written upon the Whores Fore-head and so against them that have kept the Testimony of Jesus the Spirit of Prophesie by which they have seen you you have made War against them and against them that have kept the Commands of God the Remnant of her Seed which is the Seed of the Woman whom the Dragon was wrath withal and was fled into the Wilderness there to be fed of God one thousand two hundred sixty dayes and this Dragon gave his power to your Beast that the Whore sits upon and so by

the Dragons power she rules And out of this Beasts power have your false Prophet gone crooking up and down the Nations and creeping under the Mountain like Froggs the unclean spirits and these spirits are Devils that came out of the Mouth of the Beast and false Prophet that should work Miracles and deceive the World But a day of Famine will come and Plague and Death to this Life that you live in and flaming Fire for strong is the Lord God that judgeth her the great Whore and false Church her smoak is seen and we know that you will begin to knaw your tongues for Pain for your Kingdom is full of Darkness For the Angel hath Power over your Thrones and your Rivers will be dried up which is muddy Water For hath not your City bin divided into three parts and the Turk got one part and the Protestants another And all your noisom Smells begin to smell who have the Beasts Mark in your Fore-heads and have worshipped his Image that have been out of the Image of Christ and so the Lord is True and Righteous in his Judgments for he hath judged the great Whore which hath corrupted the Earth with her Forhication and will avenge the blood of his Servants at your hands she hath corrupted the Earth with her Idols and Idolatries and Inventions and Fables and so we are come through the Light of Christ Jesus above her by which we see the Heavenly Jerusalem the true Spouse the Lambs Wise Christ the Head the true Church and the new Earth wherein dwells Righteousness and your old Earth which the Devil compasseth wherein dwells Unrighteousness filled with Idolatry and Corruption and filthiness of flesh and spirit that which cumbers the Ground fruitless Trees that have born no Fruit to God The Gates of our City Heavenly Jerusalem are not shut neither by Night nor Day but any that come to the Light of Christ Jesus they may enter through the Light into our City which is far above your Mystery Babylon false City false Church VVhore Dragon false Prophet which hath been the Drinker of the Blood of the Righteous Persecutors and Murderers by the Devils power and authority which Christ who is our Head comes to destroy who was before the Devil was and will be when the Devil is gone who was First and Last the Beginning and End the Top and Corner-Stone who is our Rock which our House is built upon and our Foundation upon which we are built Glory to God in the Highest for evermore And now to something further VVhereas you tell us a long Tale of Anaxagoras a Philosopher you have just hit your own Condition for it suits your present Condition and it is a very fit Comparison for you who would make People believe you can make a godd and christ and make a head for your Body the POPE and so deceive people as he makes people believe That the Snow was Black and the Sun was a broad Plate of Nettal And so you are so perverse in Nature though you are confuted and convinced in your Consciences you will not be brought from your Error as before mentioned and out of your Seditious and Erronious wayes and so you have gone about to confound Truth but it is too hard for you for the Devil is out of it And as for your prophane Impiety you say we draw people to that is your own Condition and Jewish Fables and Heathens also you may find enough of them at home in your own Houses and Fields nay worse then the Iews It seems you cry out That we Disturb the Tranquility of the Christian Religion Nay it is your false Religion which you have made who are a Seditious Sect who are erred from the Pure Religion that is above that keeps from the Spots of the World which is to visit the Fatherless Widdows and Strangers and you instead of this cast into Prison and let your Poor go Begging up and down your Streets and Fatherless and Widdows as look into France and other Parts And if you were in this Religion which you as a Seditious Sect are erred from which would keep you from the Spots of the World which is pure from above and undefiled before God you would not tell people of a Purgatory And so the pure Religion we stand for against all your false Ones and every one among us may Minister as they have received the Grace as good Stewards and they may all Prophesie one by one And God hath poured out his Spirit upon his Sons and Daughters and Hand-maids and Young-men and Old men that every one hath somewhat to offer to God but this is a Strange Paradox to your false Church and seditious Sect that are erred from the Apostles who limit your Preaching to such as have got the Natural tongues and so Nebuchadnezar like whom you please you set up and whom you please you pull down and whom you please you open their Mouths and whom you please you stop them and they that would not Bow at the sound of your PIPE and ORGAN you cast into the Fire Nebuchadnezar like But this is a Strange Paradox you can make Ministers as you can make a Christ and a Godd one like the other out of Truth an● so in so doing deny the true Ministers and the true Christ and God who is to be worshipped in the Spirit and in the Truth which Christ set up above 1600 years since and since you have forsaken Christ that is worshipped in the Spirit and in the Truth you compel others do not you so who is the same to day yesterday and forever But from this Infallible Worship that Christ s●t up in the Spirit and in the Truth which the Devil is out of are you erred from the Spirit and Truth become a Seditious Sect an Erronious and Schismatical Sect and Persecuting the true Worshippers of the living God in Spirit and Truth which Truth and Spirit is within by which Spirit the God of Truth is known It seems John Stubbs and James Lancaster have sorely angred that Seditious Sect of Rome And whereas thou tellest us of Phanatick Assertions which we are clear of but thou mayst look at home for that and take in thy old fathers Puddles of Errors and Blasphemies which we deny And as for Phanatick is there a People more like them in the World then you in Rage and Fury and Madness against the Righteous for your Godd you have made and your Images and Idols and Fables And have you not tewed your selves about them as much as ever Tubal did about the godds they made For the Spirit of God is Gentle and Meek and so your Phanatick Humours have sufficienly spoken forth themselves to the Nations And whereas thou speakest That we have rightly tituled the Mother Church of Rome the Old-Woman ☞ Though thou hast got some Glory in it which seems to paint thee off a little but thou shouldst have taken all our words The Mother Church
